Have done the usual google search for copyright violation before beginning wikification but the fragmentary nature of the english in the original makes it hard to be absolutely certain. Could do with a thorough check by someone.


 * In my experience, once you copyedit and wikify a messy article, there is usually enough of a difference to qualify as an original work and not a copyvio. Emt147 20:25, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup of Grammer
This article is cleaned up for correcting grammar. This is done to comply with Criteria 4 of the Assessment Class B of Assessment Quality Scale.

Along the way effort is made to correctly link to other internal pages as necessary. A lot of citations & references are necessary before fulfilling Criteria 1 of Class B.perseus71 (talk) 18:32, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Type 97 machine guns
In the armaments section, where it says "Type 97 machine guns", it's attempting to link to the wrong page. The same thing is true on the A6M Zero page. There is a page on Wikipedia for "Type 97 machine gun", but it's the wrong gun. That page describes the Japanese ARMY Type 97, which is a small, man portable, magazine-fed LMG. The Zero is armed with the Japanese NAVY Type 97, which is a copy of the Vickers machine gun, and is far heavier and belt-fed. They are both called "Type 97" because they were adopted the same year, there is no other similarity. They don't even fire the same cartridge. I don't see why it should link to the wrong page; if there isn't a page for the Navy Type 97, then they should just not link to anything. People read that page and think that it's the right gun, even though the Japanese Navy and Army never shared any weapons. Can I get rid of the link without altering any of the text, or must I have proper references and inline citations to do even that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by .45Colt (talk • contribs) 06:11, 4 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, no, I don't think anyone will challenge you if you change the link to point to the right page. Which, as you say, does not now exist. I can stub out a page tonight; I plan to call it "Type 97 aircraft machine gun" unless someone thinks there is a better name for it. --Yaush (talk) 15:09, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
